I am very sorry that I am of no help in this bug:

Firstly, I am no longer maintaining sitemgr, since my current situation does 
not leave me time for it.

But I'd given it a try, if I had any clue. But I think this bug must be handled 
by someone familiar with how phpgroupware handles LDAP.

Summary:  login into phpgw from sitemgr with long username does not work

Original Submission:  It's a strange thing, but i can full reproduce this bug 
on my phpgw installation (debian woody, phpgw cvs updated).



A user with long username (defabritiis) can login in phpgw from sitemgr with 
the login box, but cannot use the email (imap complain bad user/pass).

The same user can login into phpgw via phpgw login page, and are able to use 
the mail app with no problem at all.



My user (gaio) can login succesfully both via sitemgr and directly.

Ok, now i've more info, more bad news.



I'm experiencing now and then that some user (with any browser, this is not a 
browser-related problem) cannot use email if they have login within sitemgr 
login box.



>From zero: with some user (not my user gaio) if i login within sitemgr login 
>box, i can use all the phpgw application without  problems, but i cannot use 
>the mail (email) application.

Note that i'm using LDAP to store account but IMAP to authenticate user.



I've looked at the imap log on server and i've found that when i login to phpgw:



Oct 30 17:02:20 gandalf imapd[27314]: connect from 10.27.1.4

Oct 30 17:02:20 gandalf imapd[27314]: imap service init from 10.27.1.4

Oct 30 17:02:20 gandalf imapd[27314]: Authenticated user=walter 
host=gandalf.pp.lnf.it [10.27.1.4]

Oct 30 17:02:20 gandalf imapd[27314]: Logout user=walter host=gandalf.pp.lnf.it 
[10.27.1.4]



all went well, but when i try to access the email app:



Oct 30 17:02:26 gandalf imapd[27317]: connect from 10.27.1.4

Oct 30 17:02:26 gandalf imapd[27317]: imap service init from 10.27.1.4

Oct 30 17:02:29 gandalf imapd[27317]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user 
"uid=walter,ou=People,dc=pp,dc=lnf,dc=it" (Invalid credentials)



note that the entire LDAP entry are passed as user to the imap server, that 
clearly know nothing about the user "uid=walter,ou=People,dc=pp,dc=lnf,dc=it".



If i logout, and then login back with the main phpgw login page, i can access 
email with no problem at all.



If i can help, say me, but please fix this nasty bug! ;)

Sorry for the big late, i was very busy... i've a bad news. I've tried a 
different browser (mozilla under linux) and a different (long) user (aangarano) 
and there's the same thing.



If i log in within the login box of sitemgr, all seems works well apart mail 
app that pops up an IMAP authentication error; if i logout and login back 
within the main phpgw login page all went well.



Yes, i'm using cookies and php4 sessions.

I am not sure how to debug this, since I do not use phpgw's email. Did you 
doublecheck with a different long username if the same problem arises? Do you 
have different installations of phpgroupware on the same machine?

Weird.  I have looked at the 14 code for sitemgr login, it just posts phpgw 
login.  Are you using cookies? what type of sessions are you using? php4 or db?
